No book profits for Joe Allen

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A book by astronaut Joe Allen describing his adventures in space is selling well, but the Crawfordsville, Ind., native will not realize a penny from the sales, his wife, Bonnie, says. Allen, a graduate of DePauw University, collaborated with writer Russell Martin on the book “Entering Space.” Mrs. Allen told columnist Tom Keating of The Indianapolis Star that the book has been helped by the publicity from her husband’s recent

No Good Housekeeping seal of approval yet...

By ERIC BERNSEE Banner-Graphic Managing Editor Delta Theta Tau blew it. They had their house tour too early. Good Housekeeping and House Beautiful had their chance. All they had to do was call. Pictures would have been worth 10,000 words. No one had seen anything like it. Three houses of furniture in one house. Or more precisely, one living room. A tour guide definitely would have been needed. BUT NOW, AFTER TWO weeks of moving here and shifting there, we again own a home, not a furniture warehouse. De Eilar has some lovely pieces for his Saturday night auction. Friends have our old dining room. The landfill has some new additions and the trashman has a hernia. How all this came about involves planning worthy of the Normandy Invasion. It took the timing of Conrail, the readiness of Ryder and some maneuvering unheard of this side of Chicago politics. Two Chicago area homes-those of my late grand-parents-awaited. Furniture we desired was ours for the taking. My sister even offered leftovers from her move to California-a queen-size bed, a home entertainment center cabinet. Oh, my aching back, what freebies. ON TRIPP AVENUE (on Chicago’s west side), we knew this would be a special trip In front of Grandpa Bernsee’s old walk-up was not one, but two parking spaces. Plenty of room for even yours truly to maneuver a 15-foot rental truck. Inside, the wife savored an antique chifforobe, two

Strawberry jam is delicious, but you can’t live on that alone.” FOR THE PAST FIVE years, she has worked with her local leader and with county leaders in holding workshops for younger girls They covered a wide variety of hdlpful hints, from using the right equipment to what safety procedures to follow when using a pressure canner. Miss Williamson said that when she first began canning she had beginners’ problems, including not getting all the air bubbles out of the paraffin so jelly wouldn’t seal. Food preservation has helped her to develop into a better leader, as she has given demonstrations, worked with younger members and planned various 4H events.

It will be all worth it, she reassured as the Tripp Avenue booty filled about half the truck. She got her furniture, but I got my own souvenirs. IN A DRAWER ON THE back porch I found the unused 1952 Chicago dog tag grandpa had forgotten to put on Brownie’s collar. I’d even forgotten about Brownie, who was my surrogate pet as a kid since Mom was allergic to dog dander. But the piece d’resistance wasn’t furniture or a family relic. I noticed a broken window on the back porch when we were there the week previous, but we dismissed it as coming from a rock-throwing neighbor kid. Closer inspection showed that the outside screen had a perfectly round hole that matched the opening in the broken glass. “I wonder,” I said to myself as I followed

North Putnam to name Rohr as superintendent

By BECKY IGO Banner-Graphic Area News Editor Tom Rohr, 33, principal at Brownsburg Community High School, is expected to be named superintendent of the North Putnam School Corporation Wednesday evening, when the North Putnam School Board meets in special public session. The meeting, scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, will be conducted at the corporation central office. According to the board’s agenda, the “employment of (a) superintendent” is the only item of business. Rohr told the Banner-Graphic he is looking forward to his new responsibilities as North Putnam’s new superintendent. “I’m very pleased to have the opportunity to work in that position,” he commented, when contacted Monday morning at the Hendricks County high school. “IT WILL BE A LOT different than working at a school like Brownsburg,” he pointed out. “Brownsburg is more of a suburban school and is much larger than North Putnam.” Rohr noted the total enrollment for the Brownsburg Community High School is 1,225 students for the upper level grades. In September, the North Putnam School Corporation’s enrollment -- elementary, junior high and high school levels -- was listed at 1,424 students. However, Rohr indicated he prefers the working and residing in a smaller community. "Previously. I held the principal’s position at North Knox High School,” he said of the educational facility near Vincennes. “IT WAS A SMALL SCHOOL system too like North Putnam. I really enjoyed working there. People seem closer in a small community.” Rohr has served as principal of the Brownsburg Community School for three years. He is a graduate of Indiana State University, where he received his 8.A., M.A. and doctorate degrees. Pending board action Wednesday evening, Rohr, who currently resides in the Brownsburg Community School District, intends to move closer to the North Putnam community. Rohr and his wife, Mary, own a farm in

THE DAY WAS MADE FOR a furniture-moving friend--along for the ride and a tour of Chicago. After all, we kept telling him what a safe area this really was. After surviving Tripp Avenue, we returned to the suburbs to load up at Grandpa Grassman’s. Two more beds, the world’s most comfortable recliner and other pieces gave Ryder’s truck the biggest challenge in its 368-mile rental life. While unloading was so much easier, nothing seemed to make it past our living room. Two dining room tables is too many for anyone. And just because the chifforobe matches the piano, doesn’t mean it has to block it from view. For days, we dodged dressers and side-stepped box springs. At last, everything is in place. We’re sleeping on my sister’s old bed. Our bedside table has been replaced by a cedar chest. There’s room in the old radio cabinet for our stereo, tape player and records. THERE’S JUST ONE LITTLE problem in all this. We no longer have a dining room. We have a dining room table that fits wall to wall, but no room at the end. There are no chairs that accompany it. And since we’ve torn out the breakfast bar, there’s no place left to eat. But that’s okay, my back doesn’t hurt as much when I stand up. And besides, Good Housekeeping never likes anything practical anyway.

Rohr said he plans no immediate changes. “I’m not that familiar with everything as yet,” he said. “It’s going to take a certain amount of time to do that.” If Rohr is confirmed as the North Putnam School Corporation’s new superintendent Wednesday, he will terminate the selection and interview process school board members began months ago. Representatives from Indiana universities met earlier with the North North Putnam School Board, in an attempt to make recommendations on possible candidates. Approximately 28 applications were received regarding tne vacancy. If named, Rohr takes the place of North Putnam Supt. Merrill Scott, who tendered his resignation to school board members in July. Scott’s resignation took effect Sept. 1. HOWEVER, SINCE that time.
